The White Paper report
The provincial government has released the report on its White Paper on Post-Secondary Education process.
In the 2004 throne speech, the provincial government committed to prepare a white paper on post-secondary education and on June 29, 2004, announced the start of this process at a news conference.
The white paper process examined a range of issues, including cost and access, career prospects of graduates, provincial population changes, collaboration between the university and the College of the North Atlantic , as well as location, funding and governance of the two public institutions.
